Corwen News letter June 2018

Who can believe that we have arrived at mid year 2018? Where did that time go? Who noticed it edging away? It has taken quite a while for the Dee Valley to emerge from its Winter slumbers, although given the amount of rain, sleet and snow that has passed down the valley over the last six months it has hardly seemed like slumber!
Notwithstanding all that has been flung down the Dee Valley the Project Team has managed to get out on site most working days to help deliver the station by Spring 2019. The north batter widening has been completed, and the up
loop has started to be re-railed, the first set of canopy column bases have been installed and scaffolding has been erected to start work on building the locking room for the signal box, whilst on May 17th the work site was closed for the day so the Project Team could bid a final and public farewell to the Project’s Engineer, Phil Carson who passed away at the end of
April. The month ended by the Project Team welcoming the Chairman of Network Rail, Sir Peter Hendy to the work site.
